Has anyone done this successfully?
I understand how it's not recommended as both St. Augustine and, to a lesser extent, Zoysia can penetrate into neighboring yards but we're on a corner lot Veranda with a wall (solid bottom) behind us. And our lawn's only direct contact with our neighbor's lawn is under the mock fence for which we are likely landscaping with metal and 2' of rock to create a barrier between the yards. I also mow and treat my own yard so no issues with contractors equipment spreading seeds/weeds.

I tried putting Zoysia turf next to my driveway to replace some Flortam that Massey killed when they fouled up my lawn. The Zoysia spread under the StAugustine and under some concrete flower bed borders, and under the driveway, but it did not spread over the StAugustine next to it.
